Support Healthy Workplaces

I am being discriminated (treated differently and unequally as everyone else in our society) on the basis of disability (the fact I was hurt/injured on the job, doing my job duties as assigned, and with the equipment my employer provided) by my employer of 16 years. I was injured on the job. After I recuperated, to my maximum recovery, I requested reasonable and individual accommodation in the workplace from my employer at that time and since. My employer made changes in the workplace after I and another co-coworker was hurt.

I want to work, and simply my employer will not allow me to even try the new equipment and the job duty schedule. I am highly educated, skilled and experienced. Should I be given the equal opportunity as everyone else in my workplace to work and belong? Or will I forever be banned from my workplace because I'm different, disabled, abnormal, and have permanent impairments?

I have not asked for anything more than my co-workers already enjoy. For most people, an injury or long term illness means isolation, pain, rejection, criticism, judgment, and poverty by society. Statics show actual fraud amounts to less than 2% for workplace injuries by workers. Medicine has come along way with imaging, MRI's and CAT scans etcetera to prove injury in the past 20 years.
